Great Ape Organizations

The Center for Great Apes mission is to provide a permanent sanctuary for orangutans and chimpanzees who have been retired from the entertainment industry, from research, or who are no longer wanted as pets.

The aim of GAFI is to make wildlife television programmes about the great apes freely available to audiences in their countries of origin. Television programmes can be a powerful means of raising awareness and triggering action to solve conservation problems. The vast majority of viewers, however, live far from most of the species or habitats under threat. Such programmes could make a far greater contribution to worldwide conservation if they were more widely seen by the people who live and work in the places where the animals are and by decision-makers who control the fate of those habitats.
